It is built on top of desktop.el but allows the saving of multiple desktops in a single directory. Basically you can save as many as you like and access all of them through a menu in a buffer. I use emacs in X and very rarely start it in the directory in which I am interested so this is much easier. I highly recommend it. John http://www.geekware.de/index3.html
